TeamViewer Remote Management Reviews

I use this solution for remote server installations and troubleshooting. I run it on our side, and the customer runs it on their side and gives us the ID and password. Then I log on, and I'm on the server that I need to set up or the machine that I need to troubleshoot.

TeamViewer is okay, but there are some challenges with compatibility. You can get the free commercial edition or the enterprise license edition and it sort of limits you between levels of operating systems. For example, if you're using it on a server from Windows 10, the solution will start complaining if on the one end you're using a commercial edition and the other end you're using the enterprise license. That is kind of irritating and it puts analysts off from using it.

I'm located in Cape Town and say I have a customer in Ethiopia and I need to use TeamViewer to do troubleshooting. The customer starts up their TeamViewer in Ethiopia, I start up my TeamViewer, and I can see the servers, fix them, or go into their database.

Now, imagine they have the free edition of TeamViewer and I have the commercial edition. If the product were scalable, I would be able to grow and change the license and things would keep on working. However, as it is right now, the solution won't work and it's going to disconnect me every five or ten minutes because we do not have the same type of license.

With AnyDesk, you don't have those compatibility problems. It just works smoother, and there's less interruptions and disconnections. When the customer is happy to use AnyDesk, I use AnyDesk. We cover about 20+ countries across the African continent and islands in the Indian Ocean, and the majority of them prefer AnyDesk. Some of them don't know about it at first, but once we tell them about it they try it and dump TeamViewer from there and just continue using AnyDesk.

I have used this solution for more than ten years.

I don't think the scalability is that great. With scalability, you have to consider compatibility. You can download the free version of TeamViewer and use it, but if the other person that you're connecting to is using a commercial license, then it becomes very disruptive. That makes scalability null and void because you cannot have scalability without compatibility. Since the compatibility is not great, you cannot rate the scalability in any fair form. 

I would say approximately five to ten people in our company use this solution.

The solution is easy to set up. 

You don't need a consultant for this solution. It can be deployed in literally a few seconds. 

There's a free version of TeamViewer and a commercial version. 

I prefer to use AnyDesk. I actually uninstalled TeamViewer. I only install it again if a customer only accepts TeamViewer and doesn't want to use AnyDesk, but most customers are more and more open to AnyDesk, which I think works smoother. We're using AnyDesk more than TeamViewer.

I would not recommend this solution to people who are considering it. I would rate it as a five out of ten.

We use the product to connect to our agents’ PCs. Sometimes if the agents face any issues, our support team would connect to the agents’ PCs and try to resolve it. The product helps us understand the problem faced by the agents.

The product is very stable. We use it in places where the internet connectivity is not stable. The product is quite simple.

The solution is a little expensive. It could be made more cost-effective.

I have been using the solution for more than five years. I am using the latest version of the solution.

I rate the tool’s stability a ten out of ten.

The scalability of the tool is good enough. We don’t face any issues. We have multiple connections, but we do not face any issues. One support person can connect with two to three PCs simultaneously without any issues. We use the solution extensively in our organization.

We were using AnyDesk. It is lighter than TeamViewer. If someone does not have strong internet connectivity, then AnyDesk would be a better option. We chose TeamViewer because AnyDesk gets disconnected suddenly.

The initial setup is straightforward. We can download an EXE file and start using it.

We deployed the solution in-house. The deployment process was quite simple. We understood what needed to be done from TeamViewer’s website. We need only one desktop support person or an operations person to deploy the solution. We do not require technical people to deploy it.

We pay a yearly licensing fee. For the stability it provides, the solution is worth the cost. There are no additional costs associated with the solution.

If we need to connect to somebody's PC to provide support and stay connected for a very long time, TeamViewer is more stable than other tools. Overall, I rate the product a ten out of ten.

TeamViewer Remote Management probably has one of the best setups in terms of screen sharing, which I experience when I have to support my parents back home. The solution comes with screen sharing by default.

I use the solution to help my parents with a few things related to computers, so it is a tool I use completely for personal needs. TeamViewer Remote Management allows me to access everything in the system that belongs to my parents, especially in cases where I need to check for a virus or something while installing and uninstalling applications. In general, the solution gives me exactly what I expect from it.

I am not too well convinced with the audio part of the solution. However, I am unsure if the solution's audio issues are on both sides. I am sure the audio doesn't function well in the solution, so I feel it lacks the ability to connect to audio. The audio part of the solution needs improvement.

One of the defects that I have noticed with TeamViewer Remote Management is that if I am on a certain version and the person to whom I am connected is not on the same version, then it does not connect at times until I update the solution. The solution should offer backward version compatibility to allow for a seamless connection. When someone looks for a quick solution to fix the issues in the product, it takes time to download the updated version and install it in your system. The solution's online version is a bit difficult to use as the one we used is the downloadable version of the product for Windows. I haven't used the solution's macOS version.

I have experience with TeamViewer Remote Management for five or six years. I use the solution for my personal use.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine and a half out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution over nine on a scale of one to ten.

Considering that the solution is mostly used for personal purposes, I think five or six people in my company use the solution.

There are no plans to increase the number of users of the solution.

I have never contacted the solution's technical support, but I feel they are pretty good.

Microsoft Teams has functions like screen sharing and controlling the screen.

The initial setup of TeamViewer Remote Management is very simple.

The initial setup of TeamViewer Remote Management takes too long.

During deployment, I can also enable something like unattended access, but that is something a person shouldn't usually use because that's probably not the best way. While on TeamViewer Remote Management, we request a password each time we need access, which I think is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to use.

The solution is deployed on-premises.

The solution's installation phase can be carried out in-house by myself.

There are no charges to be paid for the solution since I use it for personal use.

The solution can maintain itself, making it one of its major advantages. There is no requirement for a very highly skilled person to operate the solution.

I recommend the solution to others planning to use it. TeamViewer Remote Management is the first choice in my recommendation list, especially if screen sharing is needed.

I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten.

In my company, the use case for TeamViewer Remote Management is for remote support only.

In some cases, TeamViewer Remote Management has improved the organization I belong to, especially for servers that have incompatibility with remote applications because my team uses TeamViewer Remote Management on incompatible servers.

What I like about TeamViewer Remote Management is the chat feature on the dashboard, which is very useful. The solution also has a meeting feature, but I don't use that.

The remote feature and other features of TeamViewer Remote Management also work fine, so it's a good solution.

The compatibility needs improvement in TeamViewer Remote Management because there's some incompatibility in some versions of the solution. Some solutions require the higher-performing version of TeamViewer Remote Management. Otherwise, there's incompatibility.

The security provided by TeamViewer Remote Management in terms of data transfer also needs improvement.

I'd like to see more features in the next release of TeamViewer Remote Management because it's still lacking in features. It would also be good for TeamViewer Remote Management to have a built-in remoting program similar to what Itarian has.

TeamViewer Remote Management has been in my company for five years, but I don't use it all the time.

TeamViewer Remote Management is good, stability-wise.

Scalability-wise, TeamViewer Remote Management isn't that good.

I've never contacted the support team for TeamViewer Remote Management.

The initial setup for TeamViewer Remote Management was easy. It's just a matter of downloading, so it was quick to deploy.

End users can install TeamViewer Remote Management, so it doesn't require a consultant or assistance from the TeamViewer team to implement successfully.

My company uses the free version of TeamViewer Remote Management.

Apart from TeamViewer Remote Management, we're using the free version of Zendesk. We're also using Itarian, which has more features than TeamViewer Remote Management. Itarian is a good solution with basic features also found in TeamViewer Remote Management. I also heard from Itarian that it has a built-in program for remoting. It would be good if TeamViewer Remote Management also had that built-in remoting program.

I'm using TeamViewer Remote Management, but not as much as other solutions, though some people prefer to use it more within my company.

I'm using the latest version of TeamViewer Remote Management.

Only a few people work on TeamViewer Remote Management within the company, particularly ten people. The solution isn't used that much.

I can easily do deployment and maintenance for TeamViewer Remote Management from the dashboard.

My company doesn't have plans to increase the usage of TeamViewer Remote Management and is now using a different application for remote support more often versus TeamViewer Remote Management. My team needs full remote support plus more security when transferring data, so TeamViewer Remote Management isn't the best solution for the company.

I advise anyone looking into using TeamViewer Remote Management to install the latest version to get good support. I don't see any issue regarding the remote support feature of TeamViewer Remote Management. It's just that the solution only has a few features, so it's lacking, feature-wise.

Overall, I'm rating TeamViewer Remote Management a seven out of ten. For remote support, it's an eight, but because it's still lacking feature-wise, I'm giving it a seven.

My company is a customer of TeamViewer Remote Management.

The remote access is most valuable.

It could be more secure.

We have been using this solution for 20 years.

It is a stable solution.

Scalability does not apply to this solution. The whole technical team uses TeamViewer Remote Management which comprises one manager, one assistant, and staff.

I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.

The initial setup is quick and takes about two seconds.

I rate this solution a ten out of ten. It's a very small program that is used for minimal issues. It has been doing its job for 20 years without a problem.

We can use TeamViewer to access a distant server if we need to, or a distant computer.

The access is great. It allows us to connect easily with distant equipment. It offers very good functionality.

The initial setup is easy.

It's stable and reliable. 

If there were a way for users to do access reporting, that would be an ideal addition to the product. It needs better reporting. 

The solution is stable or reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

We have not attempted to scale the solution. My understanding is that it is scalable since you can take the source code and modify it or add other functionalities.

I've never used technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

The setup is pretty straightforward. 

The user needs to have the solution through their computer. Once they have the firmware, they have to enter a code that is sent to the desktop so that they can connect. This needs to be put in before accessing distant equipment. 

It's not difficult to deploy the product. You can download it easily from the internet.

You can handle the setup in-house. It's downloadable from the internet.

The product is open-source.

There are different options available, and the information is online. 

If you want to do remote troubleshooting, it's a good idea to utilize TeamViewer. It's been around since 2005 - that's 17 years. It's a reliable, mature option.

I'd rate it nine out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for remote monitoring and helping clients. 

If you need to get direct access to a customer's machine, we can make a direct connection using this solution. We can connect developers and engineers at the site for easy remote troubleshooting. We have customer support as well and can connect to clients directly using this or AnyDesk.

I like that we can get a remote desktop view and even we can get even full control over remote machines for communication and troubleshooting. We can make calls or chat over the applications. These aspects are all quite helpful.

The stability seems to be pretty good so far.

It's very user-friendly. It's not complex to navigate.

The initial setup is simple.

I'm not sure if the security is ideal. They could work to improve it. I've heard that it does not meet the compliance for use in the financial industry within our region. Here, central banks advise all the financial services and banks to use the remote monitoring tool which meets their compliance parameters, and this product does not do that. It's not allowed to use in banking environments.

We've used the solution for four or five years. 

The stability is good. Aside from some compliance issues in certain sectors, we've never had issues. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

The solution doesn't really offer scalability, however, it isn't really designed to be. We mostly use it to get connect peer-to-peer or one-to-one. I haven't come across any use cases for scalability or any expansions.

We have 30 to 35 users on the solution currently, that use it in our business. We likely will not increase usage, as we only have 40 or so engineers, and everyone who needs access has it. 

The solution really is very straightforward. Therefore, there hasn't really been a need to reach out to technical support. Having never dealt with them, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be. 

We didn't really use anything prior to this solution, however, we have used TeamMeet and AnyDesk and I also have used Microsoft Remote Desktop Services.

The initial setup is very simple, very straightforward. It took like three minutes to deploy. You just download and just go next, next, next.

We didn't need any assistance. We might help our clients set it up to gain access, however, it's not a difficult process. 

There may be a license you need to pay, however, if someone is asking to connect to your machine, as a person getting service, you do not need to purchase a license in order to have TeamViewer on your machine for remote assistance. 

I would recommend the solution. 

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

We use the product to communicate. 

I want TeamViewer Remote Management to incorporate more integrations. 

I have been using the solution for a long time. 

TeamViewer Remote Management is stable. 

The product is scalable. 

I have yet to contact technical support. 

You can do the tool's deployment in-house. 

I rate the solution a six out of ten.
